So everyone, stay healthy (*^▽^*)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The wind's howling along the beach. It's pitch dark out there when the rain's pouring lightly. Thunders decided to show up around a deserted house near the hill

KRIEETT

The door opened slightly because of the wind. Inside there, it's dark and no sources of light could be seen. There, a white dressed-girl with long hair was sitting in a chair, facing towards the door and flinched a little when the door suddenly opened widely, but she just looked at it. Soon enough, the door was closed....by itself.

The next day~

Yume's POV

"Woah! It's sunny outside!", I said looking out through the window

Laura sat beside me, "Hm! It was pouring hard last night"

"I'm afraid that it will rain later", Koharu said, she stood behind me

"No need to worry, it's gonna be sunny all day long", Mahiru smiled while showing the forecasting news in her phone

"Cool! S4's performance will be a blast!", Laura said

I giggled, "And I can't contain my excitement!"

"Alright, girls, time to wash yourselves", Ako walked out from the bathroom

Meanwhile~ (Nobody's POV)

"Let's explore the island, shall we?", Kaede asked

"No, sun is bad for me", Yurika denied

"Come on, Yurika-sama, I'm going to bring your umbrella and sunblock and jacket and-", Otome hyped up

"Yeah, yeah, I might or might not join in", Yurika interrupted Otome

"So, are you going or not?", Ran facepalmed

Yurika mumbled, "W-well.. I supposed to when all of you need me"

"But, is it okay for us walking around? I mean this is an island..a huge island", Sakura spoke up

"Nothing to worry, just assume this as part of Aikatsu!", Kaede said

"Yup! Also, we might run into something unexpected! That would be something special!", Aoi exclaimed and high five with Kaede

"So, are you going, Ichigo?", Ran asked

Ichigo, that one girl who is usually pumped up for everything challenging, suddenly went silent

"You said something?", she asked

"Were you even with us all this time?", Ran asked, concerned

"I...do?"

"Now girl, you've been acting weird since the first day, are you sure you're okay?", Aoi asked

Ichigo smiled, unsure, "Weird?"

"If you say that sneaking around isn't weird well perhaps creepy?", Yurika added

At that time, she knew, that she's...ruined

"Ugh, well, why don't we just walk around the island, you know..exploring?", Ichigo laughed awkwardly

"We were talking about that the whole time!", the rest exclaimed

"Oops, my bad", she sweatdropped

Indeed, she haven't told them her relationship like..at all

Soon, they off to go

At the entrance~

"You guys...are going somewhere?", Seira and the others asked

"Yeah! Exploring the island! Explore! Explore!", Kaede grinned

"That would be fun!", Maria said

"Wanna join us?", Otome asked

"Ok, ok, ok!", Kii said

"Did I hear exploring?"

"Mahiru", Sora said

"Ichigo-nee!", Yume called

"Oh, Yume-chan"

"Is it okay if we tag in?", Laura asked

"The more the better! Let's go!", Kaede led the way

Time skip~

"Umm", Ichigo mumbled, "Where's everyone?"

"I..don't know either", Yume added

Both of them looked around them then at each other

Full of tall trees and the sound of...forest

Yes, I said, forest, they're indeed in a forest

"We are doomed"

On the other side

"I thought that we're missing something", Aoi said

"Really? Did you turn lock the door?", Kii asked

"It's literally an automatic door, Kii", Ali facepalmed

"Oh right!"

"You forgot to turn off the shower?", Ran asked

"Well..maybe that", then Aoi shrugged it off

Back to them

"No signal at all!", Yume exclaimed, having her phone on above of her head

"I can't remember the way out either", Ichigo sighed

"We are lost", both of them said in unison

SHRIEK

"What's that!?", Ichigo looked behind

A bush was moving

"Let's check it out", she said

"Let's don't!", Yume denied

"Why not? Maybe there's a village somewhere here"

"Are there any possibilities to have a village in the middle of a forest?", Yume asked, for this one time, she thinks logically

"0,01%? Still a chance", Ichigo said then walked up to the bush

"What? Wait, Ichigo-nee, don't leave me alone!", Yume chased him

The two of them went through the bush and there, they saw a house, the deserted house and a little bit desolate vibe around

"See, Yume-chan, there might be a house", Ichigo exclaimed

"But, you said a village", Yume looked beside her but couldn't find Ichigo, "Heh!?"

"There might be someone around here.. Hello? Anybody?", she went straight to the house

"Ichigo-nee, for god sake, there would be no one lives in here", Yume warned her

But being the curious Ichigo, she looked through the window but the dust was so thick and then tried to search for a doorbell, "It might be a little sloppy, but it can be occupied", she said still looking around the house

Then both of them stood in front of the door, "Let's just go back, there wouldn't be anyone li-", Yume was interupted with a sudden crack

Kriet..

"D-did you hear that?", Yume was absolutely terrified

Ichigo nodded and fixed her eyes on the door, it slightly opened

And back to the curious Ichigo, she touched the door and pushed it slowly

KRIEETTT...

"Ichigo-nee!", Yume is completely horrified

"Just wait here", Ichigo said and went in

Yume looked around, "It's better together than being alone", then followed her

Both of them looked around, cracked wall, perforated ceiling, old furniture, and the sound of crows from the outside. It's dark in there because the lighting, which is from the sun, is totally blocked by the thick dust

"Are you sure that someone live here?", Yume asked while flashing her phone's flashlight to everywhere

Ichigo walked up to a table and saw a plate, "Totally, look, this person has just finished his or her food", she pointed on the leftover on that plate

NGIET..NGIET...

"What is that!?", Yume turned toward the sound and there...rocking chair, moving with no one sitting there, "I wanna go back now!"

Yume turned towards the door and there she flashed a girl, white-dressed girl with her long hair, standing at the entrance with the door absolutely closed

They were sure that they left it opened!

"AAHHHH!!!", Yume shouted and dropped her phone

"Yume!", Ichigo ran to her

"T-th-there! Ghost!", Yume pointed towards the door while clinging into Ichigo's arm

Ichigo pointed the flashlight that way and no one was standing there

"B-but there...", Yume was freaking out

PRANGG

"Oh my goodness!! Spare my life", Yume kept on rambling any prayers she had studied everytime her mom told her to

Ichigo flashed towards the sound and saw a shattering glass on the ground

Suddenly, both of them tensed up when they felt someone was grabbing their shoulder

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Meanwhile

"Are you sure that we are at the right path?", Seira asked

"Yes..but not really", Kii said, looking around

"That tree! That's the same tree with the one we passed by just now! I made sign to recognize our way back", Laura pointed out a white sign at a tree

"We're going back to our first spot", Mahiru said

"That means..", Koharu added

"We're lost!"

"Chill guys, we can figured this out, let's just rest a bit here and think", Kaede reassured and sat down on a trunk

"Hey guys, I have a story", Otome raised up her hand

"What story?", Ran asked

Suddenly, the fluffy aura was changed into something spooky, "The haunted room"

"It's not funny, Otome-chan, we're in the middle of a forest", Maria said

"That's the reason why I should tell you the story", she smiled and then had her sudden changed of aura again, "Do you know that at the hotel we're staying has one room that is haunted?"

"Which room?"

"The one that is on the back of the hotel, it's locked and never used again"

"And why so?"

"They said that there's a suicide happened there two years ago", Otome added

"R-really?", Yurika asked

"Ooh..shiver", Kaede added

"But the body is never found"

"This is started to get creepy", Ako said

"Since that accident, the workers there frequently heard a sound from that room and things were started disappear one by one"

"What? A robber?"

Otome shook her head, "Nope, nobody strange was seen entering that place"

"So, what happens next?"

"Something weird happened at some other places, missing food, hotel stuffs, and many sounds were heard during midnight", Otome added

"Don't they have CCTVs?", Aoi asked

"Of course! But, nothing caught on the camera"

"Wow.."

"And it's still mystery until now"

Change place~

"So, you stole it all?", Ichigo asked

She was talking to the girl that they thought she was a ghost

She nodded

"But, didn't they catch you in your action?", Yume asked after calmed her heartbeat

"Maybe I'm too good in my act", she smiled, she had her hair tight up in ponytail

And she has a sweet smile and face

"You seems like a ninja", Ichigo had her eyes sparkle

The girl giggled, "Really?"

So, the girl were telling them her story, how she ended in here and all

"But, why don't you go back to your place?", Yume asked

"I was being suspected as a drug dealer, my passport was confiscated and they investigated me", she said, "And yeah, drugs were found in my luggage, but I swear, I'm not a drug dealer and those things aren't mine"

"And then?"

"I kept on denying but they asked me to tell everything at the police station and bring a lawyer"

"Why didn't you do that?"

"I have no cash, no credit card, everything!  That jerk took it all and ran away", she cursed under her breath

"Jerk?"

"My boyfriend, I mean 'ex'!", she added, "I knew he did that all to blame me"

"That's awful"

"I escaped and luckily I found this house, though it's bad but it's best as a hideout", she smiled, "And thus my career as a ghost started"

"That is something..special", Ichigo said

"And creepy", Yume added

"Oh, and why are you guys here? Shouldn't both of you at the hotel?", she asked

"Well, we were actually exploring this place with some of our friends", Yume explained

"But we kinda split ourselves with the others", Ichigo added

"I see.. Are you lost? I can't walk you back tho"

"Yes, yes! And we should go back now! S4's performances is about to start!", Yume exclaimed

"S4? Are you guys idols?"

"Yes, I'm Ichigo Hoshimiya, and she is.."

"Yume Nijino"

"Cool", she smiled, "I always wanted to be one", she mumbled

"Did you say something?"

"Ah..nothing"

"So, what's your name?"

She smiled, "Misaki, Misaki Katayose"

Meanwhile (I know again, sorry)

"That's a scary story", Sakura said

"Yume might be freak out by now", Koharu looked beside her and the other side and around and there's no sign of her, "Yume-chan!"

"Koharu, why?"

"Yume-chan.. She is missing!", Koharu exclaimed

"What!?", all of them shocked

"Ichigo, too, they're gone!", Seira said

"I knew it! I knew something is missing", Aoi said

"What should we do now? Are they lost?", Laura said

"Don't forget that we are lost as well", Yurika reminded

"Yume!"

"Ichigo!"

"Where are you?", they stood up and went around

A few minutes later, they came back

"Have you found strawberry?" Kaede asked

Aoi shook her head, "Yume-chan?"

"No sign of her", Ako said

And they sighed

"Guys!"

They turned toward the voices

"Ichigo, Yume!", and they all hugged

"Where have you been? We're searching for you!", Aoi said

"Why didn't you tell us that you're gone?", Mahiru asked

"Sorry, guys, we're just wondering around and suddenly none of you can be seen", Ichigo explained

"Oh..and who is this?", Seira asked

"Oh, hello", Misaki bowed, "I'm Misaki Katayose, the ghost?"

"Ghost?"

And thus the storytelling started

A few moments later

"That makes sense with Otome's story", Sora said

"So, the mystery is solved!", Ako said

"By the way, we should go back now", Mahiru said, "We don't want to miss the performance, do we?"

"We're lost, don't you remember?"

"I can lead the way back", Misaki said

An hour later~

"Where are the girls?", Subaru asked, they were at the beach

"Missing, I've asked the securities and they're searching for them", Nozomu said

"Not only Four Stars Academy's students, Dream Academy as well as Starlight's are missing", Shun said

"Oh my honeys! Where did you guys go?", Johnny did his dance

"Stop calling them honey, Johnny-sensei", Naoto scolded

"Why? The students are all my honeys, especially Starmiya honey, our gem!", Johnny said and received a don't-call-her-honey look from Naoto

Johnny gulped, that's the jealous boyfriend for you (oh, and nobody else know about their relationship except Akari and Sena)

"Is anyone know about their absent?", Asahi asked

Kanata shook his head, "Only headmaster knows and the securities"

"Also headmistresses, to avoid any chaos", Shun added

Subaru sighed and mumbled, "Where did she go?"

"Oh, Subaru, why are you so worry? Are you worrying the girls or only Yume?", Nozomu asked

"Of course the girls!", Subaru exclaimed

"Just stay calm", Naoto added

"Yeah says the one who is tapping his arms and being uneasy the most", Johnny said

Sena just stood behind him and looked at him, he knew how worry was him since Ichigo was there with the girls, he was worry as hell but who is him? Just a friend of his best friend's girlfriend

"Look!", Shun shouted that made them looked at where he pointed, "There they are!"

The girls run up a little as well as the boys

"Oh yes! We're back!", Kaede cheered

"Thank you, Misaki, we're really helped", Seira said

"No problem", she smiled

Naoto ran toward Ichigo and checked her, "Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself? Where have you been? Why didn't you call me or text me? Why didn't you tell me that-"

"Oh, Nao, look I'm fine", she smiled

"But-"

"Lemme tell you, Ichigo", Sena showed up and circled his hand around Nao's neck, "This guy keeps telling us to be at ease when he is the one that worry the most, he has been walking up and down, tapping here and there and so on, what a nice boyfriend you got"

"Wait, you knew?", Naoto asked

"I know right", Ichigo laughed

"Wait, you knew that he knew?"

"Oh, Ichigo, look at your boy, he is really bad, he didn't even tell his best friend about your relationship", Sena was trying to be hurt, "Not to mention that I saw the kiss as well"

"Damn, shut up!"

On the other side

"Hey, tomato, I thought you were eaten by the tiger"

"Oh, Mr. Boiled Octopus, I'll be the one who ate it!"

"Meh, you're not a good liar"

"You little-"

"Yume, don't be mad, let me tell you a secret, Subaru has been worrying you when he didn't see you during lunch, he kept on asking, 'when will tomato eat?' or 'where is that tomato? She never miss lunch' and so on", Nozomu teased, "He really cares for you"

"Nozomu! That's not a good lie!", Subaru smashed his head

But little did they know

Yume blushed.. A lot

"Don't hear him, tomato", he looked at Yume, "He- tomato! Are you sick? You're red", he held her cheeks up and suddenly his face went red as well

He realized that she was blushing

And she's extremely cute

"Oh crap"

"Wow, did I catch a huge fish this time?", Nozomu teased

"Nozomu!"

Well.. That's how their trip ended, getting lost, meeting new friend, solving a mystery, and being back to their close one

Yume and Subaru chased Nozomu that ended up Laura's dragged into that small chasing, Asahi gave Koharu a lot of sweets and told her how much he worried, Kanata patted Ako's head and then being kicked by her, Sena was still teasing Naoto and Ichigo, or should I say, both of them teasing Naoto, and thus the headmaster and headmistresses went out and talked to the girls with Johnny danced around and told them how much he worried about his honeys with Shun trying to calm him down and Misaki..

She was a trainee back then and she's freaking good at dancing, she then works as a dance instructor at Starlight and what's more amazing is she got her justice and her ex boyfriend had been arrested for selling drugs and doing deception. Oh, and her job as a fake ghost? Well, people do love mystery better than the truth so she just let it be

"Everyone! Are you ready?", Tsubasa shouted from the stage

"We're gonna dance the night away!", Yuzu said

"And leave you the best memory ever!", Yozora added

"Now, we'll present you", Hime said, "Episode Solo!"
